Dallas restaurant Sugar Factory American Brasserie closed after service on Aug. 4, 2024.
The Las Vegas-born restaurant and dessert shop served the most over-the-top desserts Dallas had ever seen, we wrote when it opened in 2021. One such dessert was a sundae with nearly two-dozen scoops of ice cream. The World Famous Sugar Factory King Kong Sundae, as it’s called, had a $99 price tag and served 12 people.
Many of Sugar Factory’s other desserts were milkshakes, each about $15, piled high with whipped cream, lollipops and sprinkles.
Despite the eye-catching sweets, Sugar Factory was also part restaurant, part club. America’s Got Talent and Masked Singer TV host Nick Cannon performed a DJ set at the opening party in November 2021.
Menu items included a burger crusted in Flamin’ Hot Cheetos and sliders with rainbow-colored buns. The cocktails were large, like the goblets filled with tropical punches, each priced at about $50.
Some of the drinks were “designed and tasted” by celebrities Guy Fieri, Sammy Hagar and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, according to a Sugar Factory news release.
A Sugar Factory spokesperson did not explain why the restaurant closed. She said the restaurant will move to a new address but didn’t share where or when.
Sugar Factory continues to grow, with a recent restaurant opening July 1, 2024, in Houston’s Galleria area. (Cannon DJ’d that opening party as well.)
Sugar Factory restaurants remain in New York City, Miami, Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit, Honolulu, and parts of the United Arab Emirates and the Bahamas.
Sugar Factory was located at 1900 Cedar Springs Road, Dallas. It opened Nov. 5, 2021, and closed Aug. 4, 2024.
